The World Ends With You

i noted this in the DS thread, but i think this game deserves its own thread.

this is possibly the best DS game i've played yet. the controls are very intuitive - first game i've played to fully exploit the power of the touch screen, the graphics/animation are smooth, the story is Gantz-ish (which is good), the music is funky and memorable, difficulty is completely adjustable in many ways, and most of all - the battles aren't forced/random and very fun.

my only gripe is that there isn't a good multiplayer function - similar to zelda, the multiplayer is a mini-game (beyblade-ish). and the mini-game is... ehhh. decent, but obviously not as fun as the actual game. it'd've been cool if true multiplayer battles were possible.

honestly, if you have a DS - go play it and make your own judgments.

p.s. i'm currently in the middle of the 3rd week thus not close to completely the game.
